    106. Do not neglect your school-fellow because he is inferior to yourself; for the same reason your superior may neglect you. 107. Sickness levels pride, and death makes us all equal. 108.. If you think of marrying a widow, consider se- riously whether you are in possession of as many good qualities as the lady’s former husband; and if you are a maid, or widow, and think of marrying a widower, you ought to weigh your own perfections against those of the departed wife. If the parties do this without favour or affection to themselves, they may have a reasonable expectation of being happy. 109. Do not waste your love in a long courtship. 110. Learn to dance well. If you have not a head,- your heels may make your fortune. 111. In your passage through life, take truth and sin- cerity for your companions. If you prefer dissimulation, you will end your journey in disgrace. 112. Those are the best critics who have the most judgment, and the least ill-nature. 113. If you wish to be comfortable, marry at thirty a woman of twenty-one. You will not then be in danger of your children treading too closely upon your heels. 114. It is the force of education that enables one man to live where another would starve. 115. If you travel into foreign parts, bring back the virtues of other countries, and leave your own follies behind.
